With the continuous development of distributed ledger and blockchain technologies, new use cases apart from cryptocurrencies have come into the spotlight. In this article, we evaluate whether an e-government service could be a suitable candidate for a blockchain transformation. We selected as a reference test system an existing cross-border e-government service that is used for supporting goods exchanges across the European Union. We show how such an indicative paradigm can be transformed into a blockchain system. In order to do so, we deployed it in an emulated architecture for evaluating its performance under various realistic conditions. Our results show that the deployed system is able to meet the requirements, both in terms of throughput and transaction speed. Moreover, it shows clear advantages in terms of usability and synchronization between all entities.

支持跨境电子政务服务的区块链性能分析

随着分布式账本和区块链技术的不断发展，除了加密货币之外的新用例已经成为人们关注的焦点。在本文中，我们评估电子政务服务是否适合进行区块链转型。我们选择了一个现有的跨境电子政务服务作为参考测试系统，该服务用于支持整个欧盟的货物交换。我们展示了如何将这种指示性范式转化为区块链系统。为此，我们将其部署在模拟架构中，以评估其在各种现实条件下的性能。我们的结果表明，部署的系统在吞吐量和交易速度方面都能够满足要求。而且，
